Antibody evidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection in healthcare workers in the Bronx 2020-08-26 .txt text/plain 793 68 50 5. What is the prevalence of antibodies in those healthcare workers with self-reported positive and negative SARS-CoV-2 PCR tests? In total, 1,700 healthcare workers were tested for SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibody between April 28 and May 4, 2020. We analyzed the data by looking at those healthcare workers that had positive antibodies and stratified it based on department, presence or absence of symptoms, and previously reported positive PCR. Notably, 12% of those who tested positive for the presence of IgG reported a negative SARS-CoV-2 PCR result. As expected, 92% of individuals that reported a positive PCR test developed IgG antibodies. A small number of individuals, representing 1% of those reporting a positive SARS-CoV-2 PCR test prior to being tested, had a negative antibody test. 6 Our results reflect a higher overall rate of SARS-CoV-2 antibody development among healthcare workers in the Bronx compared to reported rates in NYC healthcare workers. ./cache/cord-354538-vqi67h6a.txt ./txt/cord-354538-vqi67h6a.txt
